Where to buy bait?

[Knox]

Hey guys,

I want to be ready in full swing for the up-coming salmon summer run. I know my dad always used to use Sand Shrimp.

I live in puyallup, and so far NO ONE has any Live Sand Shrimp for sale. Anyone know where I can pick some up?


Thanks guys!!:cheers:

I don't know if they have live bait but you could call and find out. Since it says you are in Puyallup they are local. They have a good selection of fishing supplies for our area.

nope, none of them had live shrimp. They had the packaged pink shrimp though.(I've never used it).

The little general store up where I used to live, had them. Of all places.. :bounce:

Usually they come in a Styrofoam container just like worms do. The Salmon & metalheads loved them! Wonder how they would fair up here in Washington.

Anyways, thanks for all of the help! Going to try nab a fish here in a bit. :thumleft:

here's a tip:

forget about sand shrimp. Go to your local market (I go to the Asian stores in Seattle) and buy the cheapest raw shrimp you can find. Cut into thumbnail size pieces and put on your hook or lure. fish on.

a lot easier to use than sandshrimp, easier to find, cheaper, and just as effective or more effective.

buy shrimp like shad said but brine in sand shrimp smelly jelly liquid or pro cure sand shrimp with uv flash
